Although the U.S. focus remains on exerting diplomatic and economic pressure on Syria, the Pentagon and the U.S. Central Command have begun a preliminary internal review of U.S. military capabilities, CNN has learned.

The options are being prepared in the event President Barack Obama were to call for them. Two senior administration officials who spoke about the review to CNN emphasized that U.S. policy for now remains the use of non-military options.

The focus on diplomatic options was underscored by the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.

"Before we start talking about military options, we very much want to ensure that we have exhausted all the political, economic and diplomatic means at our disposal," Ambassador Susan Rice said on CNN's “Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”

The president has also said that the U.S. is working on non-military options first.

"I think it is very important for us to try to resolve this without recourse to outside military intervention, and I think that's possible," Obama said in an interview with NBC News that aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday.

But the military is beginning to look at what can be done. One of the senior U.S. officials called the effort a “scoping exercise” to see what capabilities are available given other U.S. military commitments in the region.

Both officials pointed out that this type of planning exercise is typical for the Pentagon, which would not want to be in the position of not having options for the president, if and when they are asked for.

It would be Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command, who would provide details on what U.S. military assets are available, what missions they could perform if asked, and what risks U.S. forces might face.

“The Pentagon is closely monitoring developments in Syria. It wouldn’t be doing its job if it didn’t put some ideas on the table,” one of the senior U.S. officials told CNN. “But absolutely no decisions have been made on military support for Syria.”

The two officials were not willing to be identified because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Typically those types of options are held by the Pentagon as very preliminary plans and not even forwarded to the White House unless asked for. If asked, plans are then fleshed out with specific units to support them.

In this type of analysis being done, the military would typically look at all options ranging from humanitarian relief, to support for opposition groups, as well as outright military strikes, although that is an unlikely option, both officials said.

“This remains a campaign to apply economic and diplomatic pressure,” the first official said.

The military’s work to analyze potential military options for Syria has been quietly going on for several weeks, two administration officials confirm to CNN. The bulk of the analysis is being done by staff of General Mattis, who would be the senior commander if the President were to order any action.

Mattis’ analysis is being shared with General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who would then present options to the White House, if it came to that.

“We don’t want to be in the position of suddenly dusting off some five year old plan,” one official said. The official emphasized the work is extremely preliminary but said the military would look at a full range of contingencies.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Armed Services committee, told reporters Tuesday that the U.S. should consider "all options including arming the opposition."

But U.S. officials said that adding weapons into the volatile and violent situation is not a viable option.

"We never take anything off the table. The president does (or) doesn't. However, as the president himself made absolutely clear and as the secretary has continued to say, we don't think more arms into Syria is the answer," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

Funny that the Tea Party actually changed the political landscape by electing representatives.

OWS change the landscape by sh**ting in the streets and pis*ing in their tents and on their mattresses.

Well the tables shall turn in November 2012. The GOP and their whipped puppy Teabaggers will be defecating in their trousers and urinating themselves when they hear the news that Obama has won in a landslide over whatever GOP loser they have chosen. It could be nasty moneybags Mitt, serial cheater Newt, homophobe Santorum, or loony Ron Paul. Either way, the Occupy Wall Street people have shifted the focus on the nasty 1% and their GOP lackeys. Obama and the people shall prevail!

Here we go again with this warmonger DEMOCRATS and OBAMMIE. Where are all the anti war commies when Bush was president? Since OBAMMIE became the dictator in chief the US has escalated the war in Afghanistan to Pakistan to Libya to Yemen and now he has his eyes on Syria. We don't even have diplomatic relations with Syria and have nothing to do with internal affairs of Syria. It amazes me that DEMOCRAT leaders who has never serve their country are the one's that are so generous in giving away American lives for the sake of so called depraved people.

well said Chow. historically the Dems start, join, or escalate a war when their presidency is in trouble. Clinton Bosnia, Carter too chicken to try, Johnson escalation of Vietnam, Truman Korea, Roosevelt prolonging depression contributed to starvation in germany giving Hitler fertile ground to grow his support for take over, Wilson WW 1, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama follows in the footsteps of his fellow progressives (socialists) and triggers the war on Iran. If Israel delays the attack until after the election as indicated, I would guess Obama finds another battlefield crisis to rally support to himself as commander in chief during the critical months of september and october.

AMEN AND WATCH FOR HIM TO THROW 80,000 SOLDIERS ONTO UNEMPLOYMENT AND THEN START THE DRAFT AGAIN..........OLE CHARLIE RANGEL HAS BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS

So, why didn't we do the sanctions earlier, like two years ago? Or why now? Its time for CNN and the other mainstream media wonks to stop trying to make Obama look like a superstar or trying to make something happen to sell news stories. Just like it was leaked that Israel would strike in the spring, so, Obama copuld get some cover. If we're not going to fight to win and do whatever it takes, don't jeopradize on once of American blood. Look at the debacle Obama left behind in Iraq or look at the mismanagement in Afghanstan. And does anyone really believe Obama will do anything differently, not.

Russia and Hillary are on the same side. global socialism fast tracked or slow tracked as long as its moving forward.

Let's just get this thing over with, not like Iraq and Afghanistan.....just take the inititive and drop tons of aresenal, TONS, and wake this regime up, or anyone that is still living to make them understand. Keep Obozo OUT of any decision making, let our military General's make the call and let Obozo know after it is done. Obozo is Commander-In-Cheif??? What a joke!! And Hillbilly Hillary?? Another sad example of this Administration>>jok s

They want it erased from history but this memorial site will remain forever: http://www.wizardsofaz.com/waco/waco2.html
And if that weren't bad enough, Clinton's thugs then stuck a machine gun in the face of a 5 year old boy and sent him to the communist gulag known as Cuba: http://www.therealcuba.com/elian_gonzalez.htm
Let's hope Clinton isn't teaching President Prompter too many of his old tricks!

Well, if HIllary wants a war, let's have all the gays who have benefited from the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell act, let all those gays go over there and fight for us. I say, don't ask for something you are not prepared to back up with yourself. And, Obama and Hillary should be out there on the frontline leading them all.

So the Whitehouse is going to persue every waste of time option they can think of before taking military action while how many more die? They just reported that an estimated 30 people have been slaughtered by government forces within the past few hours, hundreds within the past few weeks.
This reeks of the same incompetence displayed in '91 when Somalians were being slaughtered by their neighbors with machetes and we sat here and debated the definition of the term genocide for two months.

We have no business being there in the first place. We failed in Lybia, Tunisia, and Egypt because we had no business interfering in their internal affairs. Besides its Arabs killinig each other, and thats a win win for us in the long run.

Heard a rumor that the Russians and Chinese have been arming the Muslim Brotherhood which have lead to most of these deaths. Makes sense because Assad's administration is quite secular, and the Muslim Brotherhood would love another country to go down to fuel their dreams of a caliphate.

Chi-Coms & Ruskies have provided Iran with substantial missle capability,(Sunburn & more advanced stuff),with plenty of coastal mountains on the Persian(yeah that`s what I called it) Gulf, to hide radar & launchers, ANY ship in the area probably have low survival chances.Those are some of the most modern and deadly missle systems in the world. Much more of a problem than the SCUDS gave us. Do not believe thier number is even known. Hope our sailors ain`t made into cannon fodder in the event of hostilities.

You want to start another war Hillary? If you want this war then why don't YOU lead by example? Rather see your NEO_LIB old ass driving for cover than my son.

that's right mac! same with all the war wh-ores on here that call themselves open minded and peace loving but yet are filled with joy over the idea of blowing up tens of thousands of innocent women and children, as long as its not their children. like thatcher said in her interview with cnn, "it is completely worth it" when speaking about the 500,000 children that starved to death from the sanctions put on iraq. do you people freakin understand this?!! these nazi pigs get great joy in extermination of children to play their empirical games of global state sponsored terrorism! do you know we have murdered more than 1,000,000 Afghani's, and most of them civilians?! do you know the truth of what is happening to the children in iraq and afghanistan and what is happening to them from the DU weapons we're using?

The children of Iraq did not die not because of the sanctions. They starved to death because Sadaam, the U.N. (including Kofi Annan's son), Antonin "Tony" Rezko, and Nadhmi Auchi was stealing the money(using the ELF Aquitine Bank Group in France) that was supposed to go to the the "Oil for Food" program (to feed the Iraqi people). By the way Tony Rezko (a Syrian), and Nadhmi Auchi (an Iraqi) bought Obama's multi- million dollar mansion (Obama was only making $35,000 at the time, and wasn't eligible for the loan)) for him when he was a running for U.S. Senate. Actually Auchi gave Rezko (who was broke at the time) 3.5 million dollars 21 days before Obama and Mrs. Rezko bought both their adjoining properties on the same day. A few months later Auchi forgave the loan! (The ELF scandal was the biggest scandal in France since World War II).

In that photo of ole faithful HC, she was telling Drew to stop posting and replying, because he makes no sense. ha
With the chicoms and the kgb supporting Assad, little barry, HC and the UN will just yell and scream and make threats. Just like against NK. And what a great job that worthless group did in Egypt and Lybia.

Read this poll to see what many Republicans believe - http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/20-of-republicans-leaning-to-obama/ This is from the DrudgeReport. And it proves that many Americans realize the truth that Obama is the right person for the times. America needs to come together for our future.

The poll shows 7 percent of polled Republicans will vote for Obama.

Compare that with the 16 percent of Democrats who will 'definitely vote for someone else' and the Independents tally at 46 percent that will 'definitely vote for someone else.'

This poll you cited, was linked to on Drudge, it is actually a story on World Net Daily of a poll performed by some unknown polling group. Yes, that’s right, World Net Daily, the same website that liberals have said were a bunch of racists. The same website that took the Hillary Clinton campaign teams birther momentum and ran with it, and has been called fruitcakes since Obama became President. Now they put out a goofy poll from a never before heard of polling group, and they are awesome. You liberals are idiots.

I love how all you bunker living, Drudge reading, Fox watching troglodytes think Obama is trying to ruin the country while simultaneously ignoring facts such as the recent news that unemployment benefit applications have dropped to the lowest levels in four years. How can that be??

I think you'd rather your party win and the other party lose than to see this country prosper. YOU are the ones that want to see the country go down in flames just so you can say I told you so (you'd be wrong while doing so). You people make me sick. Each of you will perish in eternal hellfire (even though it doesn't exist).

First of all the employment numbers are minus 1,200,000 applicants. So you and your lying president are cooking the books. Secondly, it won't matter which one of the top tier candidates wins the presidency as they are all big government republicans.

drew drew drew – THERE YOU NAZIS GO AGAIN – TELLING US WHICH NEWS 'WE ARE ALLOWED TO WATCH' YOU STAY WITH MSLSD AND MATTHEWS AND HIS TINGLE AND YOU LOVE GUYS LIKE RATHER FORGING DOCUMENTS, YOUR SIDE MAKES UP GARBAGE AND CALLS IT NEWS – AMERICA IS WATCHING AND PISSED........

FOX IS THE NUMBER ONE NEWS IN THE LAND FOR 10 YEARS NOW............you boys are outnumbered 8-2 now............I warned you that you shouldn't believe your OWN LYING MEDIA BUT YOU DID

bush had 4.2 and 5.2 unemployment --LOOK IT UP IDIOT – YOUR MEDIA WON'T FORCEFEED IT TO YOU LIKE THE BUSH HATE BUT THOSE ARE THE FACTS

OBAMA IS KILLING MORE SOLDIERS THAN BUSH – AGAIN YOUR MEDIA KEEPS YOU DUMB

WHEN THE COMMIES OBAMA AND PELOSI AND REID TOOK OVER CONGRESS AND OUR FINANCES BUSH HAD 5.2 UNEMPLOYMENT –HIS STOCK MARKET WAS 14,000 AFTER TWO OF THE WORST DISASTERS IN OUR HISTORY (BEFORE OBAMA'S ELECTION THAT IS).......KATRINA AND 9.11.............

AND YOU BOYS CARRIED SIGNS IN OUR FACE TO KILL HIM................

AND BUSH GOT US DOWN TO 4.2 UNEMPLOYMENT..........

LIE LIE LIE YOU HATERS – but I warned you WE ARE GOING TO HATE BACK THIS TIME

AND YOU COMMIES TELLING US WHAT WE CAN WATCH AND WHO IS ALLOWED TO SPEAK – THOSE TIMES ARE OVER................THERE AIN'T ENOUGH LIPSTICK ON THE PLANET TO DRESS UP BARRY HUSSEIN THIS TIME – YOU SOLD US AN IDIOT – IF YOU HAD PICKED AN INTELLIGENT MAN YOU WOULD GET MORE TIME.............

And Dear Leader has almost doubled the amount of people dependent on food stamps! AWESOME!

More historical feats by President Awesome...

-Government dependency jumped 8.1 percent in the past year, with the most assistance going toward housing, health and welfare, and retirement.

-The federal government spent more taxpayer dollars than ever before in 2011 to subsidize Americans. The average individual who relies on Washington could receive benefits valued at $32,748, more than the nation’s average disposable personal income ($32,446).

-At the same time, nearly half of the U.S. population (49.5 percent) does not pay any federal income taxes.

-In the next 25 years, more than 77 million baby boomers will retire. They will begin collecting checks from Social Security, drawing benefits from Medicare, and relying on Medicaid for long-term care.

-As of now, 70 percent of the federal government’s budget goes to individual assistance programs, up dramatically in just the past few years. However, research shows that private, community, and charitable aid helps individuals rise from their difficulties with better success than federal government handouts. Plus, local and private aid is often more effectively distributed.

IN RESPONSE TO THIS GUY -–I love how all you bunker living, Drudge reading, Fox watching troglodytes think Obama is trying to ruin the country while simultaneously ignoring facts such as the recent news that unemployment benefit applications have dropped to the lowest levels in four years. How can that be?? I think you'd rather your party win and the other party lose than to see this country prosper. YOU are the ones that want to see the country go down in flames just so you can say I told you so (you'd be wrong while doing so). You people make me sick. Each of you will perish in eternal hellfire (even though it doesn't exist).

I love how all you idiot worshiping, RATHER AND COURIC READING, dumbo MSLSD watching troglodytes think Obama is fixing our nation and making it better.................while simultaneously ignoring facts such as the recent news that unemployment benefit applications have dropped to the lowest levels in four years. THAT IS BECAUSE HE HAS UNEMPLOYED 1.2 MILLION A MONTH FOR 3 YEARS – HE KNOWS THAT IF HE DROPS IT 20,000 A MONTH YOU IDIOT LIBERALS WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THE MATH – AFTER ALL WHY DO YOU THINK CARTER CREATED THE DUMBOCRAT EDUCATION SYSTEM...........TO MAKE YOU BOYS TOOO DUMB TO KNOW YOU ARE TOOO DUMB..

HE LOSES 1.2 MILLION JOBS AND GAINS 200,000 AND YOU ARE CUMMING IN THE STREET

IDIOTS.........I know you boys are party over country.............and now SO DOES THE WORLD.

You boys ignore those dead soldiers, the LONGEST FOOD STAMP LINE IN HISTORY AND 10 MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN........YOU JUST IGNORE THE FACTS

AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING MAD ABOUT IT NOW CAUSE OBAMA HAS MADE ANYONE UNEMPLOYED OVER 6 MONTHS JUST DISAPPEAR.......

THAT IS HOW HITLER'S MEDIA MADE THE KILLING OF THE JEWS DISAPPEAR............

THE UNEMPLOYED ARE THE JEWS OF THIS HOLOCAUST BOYS AND THE MORE YOU IGNORE THE DAMAGE – THE MADDER AMERICANS ARE GETTING You people make US SICK. Each of you will perish in eternal hellfire (even though it doesn't exist). OH YEAH YOU ATHEISTS, USING GOD, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH 8 OUT OF 10 AMERICANS ARE GOING TO SMASH YOU LIKE THE DUMB LITTLE BUGS YOU ARE

KEEP IT UP – YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET AWAY SLIMING THIS GUY ANOTHER TERM ON HATE --LAST TIME WAS YOUR ONE CHANCE AND YOU BOYS BLEW IT – SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN SOMEONE SMART!!!!! ROFL ROFL ROFL

there is not one positive contribution to this Republic that Obama can lay claim to, not one. Same as G. Bush and his nazi daddy. They are all systematically destroying this nation and with great prejudice and pleasure. You are simply parroting the information the pentagon controlled national television "news" agencies tell you, and you are not in possession of actual numbers and the reality of their perverse accounting measures, as you are not interested in giving a moments thought to anything that would disrupt your comfortable self imposed delusion and worship of your god obama.

Why have the uemployment numbers falling? Easy, it is called "the government is fudging the numbers" so that MAObama will look better to the simpletons who still support him and are stupid enough to consider voting for this Alinskyite Marxist again.

IF YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS THEN OBAMA AND HIS DEMOCRATS AND HIS MEDIA MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR..............THE UNEMPLOYED ARE EVERYWHERE – THEY CAUSED THE FORECLOSURES, WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB YOU LOSE YOUR HOUSE – AND 400,000 – YOU IDIOTS 400,000 A WEEK APPLY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AND THAT IS 1.2 MILLION A MONTH, EXCUSE US IF WE DON'T GET EXCITED ABOUT 2 MILLLION SAVED UNION JOBS...................THE UNEMPLOYED ARE THE JEWS OF THIS HOLOCAUST – THEY ARE LOSING EVERYTHING AND THE MEDIA AND OBAMA HAS MADE IT DISAPPEAR..............

What does the LORD say?

II Timothy 3:1-5,7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

Unfortunately John McCain is nothing but a liberal. Just because he belongs to the Republican party doesn't mean he is not a liberal like Chairman Maobama. His saber rattling and war mongering is a disgrace to America. As are all the war loving crowd..... I would like to hear a valid argument addressing the vital US interest in the Middle east that warrants a war footing on our part.. Oil is not a factor as the continantal US has more oil then the anyone. Also, if the congress and the president really want to go to war .... DECLARE it. Have a house vote and send it to the president to execute, as it should be.

Obama is a lying, amateur, who was put into office because of the color of his skin. We are reaping what we sowed. We have an opportunity to right the American ship by making our voices count in November... How can anybody want another four years of this fool, his administration and their failed policies? OBAMA HAS TO GO!

BIGOT! And replace him with what???? Heartless money bags Romney? Egomaniac serial cheater Gingrich? Homophoic Santorum? (Dan Savage has it right here!) And looony Ron Paul? The GOP does not have a chance! Obama 2012!

I thought RACIST was the preferred term when someone disagrees with SCOAMF.

February 9, 2012 at 11:08 am |

JustAGuy

How is Gern a bigot for stating a fact. I know many African Americans who proudly told me they were voting for Obama because of the color of his skin. I even know a few whites who gave the same reason. And after Obama was elected, the message boards flooded with African Americans bragging that a black man is president. These are facts.

So once again, how is Gern being a bigot for stating a fact?

February 9, 2012 at 11:09 am |

Hey Gerri, your Messiah just opened up a CPAC for his rich Hollywood and Wall Street friends to collect a $Billion dollars for his re-election campaign. Now who is the money-bag , dayyam hyprocrite liberal.

February 9, 2012 at 11:17 am |

Gryphon Moor

It is at the very least,hypocritical, for someone who plans to vote for a second term of Obama to call someone else "loony". Please, are you a masochist?

February 9, 2012 at 11:25 am |

PeePee

You actually think Obama will do better then the opposing GOP candidates? Wow your are one disillusion American. First off lets get one thing straight Obama takes absolutely no blame for all the problems going on today with our economy and the jobless. He has not created jobs, he still has not proposed a plan or put into action. He just points the finger at us Americans and blames us for being lazy. What kind of president blames the people of the Nation in which he governs? He is merely a puppet and has been said so by other democratic senators. He is not experienced at all and has no background that can back it up. Hussein Obama also hasn't proposed a single plan that any one can agree on so that shows his lack of caring on making sure that both parties agree. It's primarily his job to make sure everyone agrees on his policies. This just shows how under qualified he is and the lack of knowledge he has also on running a country.

THESE DEMOCRATS ARE A CULT, NOT MATTER WHAT FACTS YOU PUT IN THEIR FACES – THEY ARE SO USED TO BEING DUMBED DOWN DUMBOCRATS THAT THEY CAN'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE............THAT IS WHY WE ARE REMOVING THEM...........STRAP IN LIBERALS

February 9, 2012 at 11:47 am |

Gerri

Well, MANY Americans are lazy. And Obama did get a bad economy from your hero, George W. Bush the younger. The GOP apparently is stupid, too. A recent poll, performed by a conservative orginzation, proves that 20% of all Republican voters are GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA! Even many GOP types know in their souls that Obama is the right person for the times. Read this to see how some Republicans think - http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/20-of-republicans-leaning-to-obama/ This is from the DrudgeReport.

February 9, 2012 at 12:01 pm |

dantes44

Gerri, are you really going to trust a pollster whom doesn't even know how to read his data? Nowhere does it say 20 percent. What it was is 20 Republican respondents. Which turns out to be 7 percent of Republicans polled.

February 9, 2012 at 12:32 pm |

catherine

the democrats love love love THEIR FOLLOWERS DUMBER THAN ROCKS........EVERY POLL LIKE YOU SAID IS 40% DEMOCRATS AND 10% REPUBLICANS – THIS IS HOW THEY HAVE DESTROYED US BY LYING

WE GAVE THEM THE POWER AND THEY LIED TO US..................NOW WE WILL WALK THE FREAKS OUT...............JUST LIKE THE UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS – OBAMA LIED SO MUCH EVERYONE IS TELLING THE STORY NOW OF HOW HE MAKES ANYONE UNEMPLOYED OVER 6 MONTHS DISAPPEAR................

February 9, 2012 at 12:35 pm |

Truth or just my lying eyes

Oh wow! The race card? Really? REALLY!?! So you STILL believe that anyone who disagrees with our current POTUS is a racist and a bigot? So when you disagreed with Bush you hate white people right? YOU RACIST SCUM! Maybe you just hate people from Texas? What did Texas do to you that was so bad that you're now a bigot and hate one of our states? You and your tired BS argument can all jump into a VW microbus and Thelma and Louise off a damn cliff! Pitiful JERK.

February 9, 2012 at 1:23 pm |

THEY THINK THIS IS 2008 AND WE STILL HAD EMPLOYED AMERICANS............THEY THINK THEIR HATE AND REVERSE RACISM WILL SWOON OBAMA INTO OFFICE AGAIN...........POOR LITTLE DUMBOCRATS.........PEOPLE HAVE LOST EVERYTHING UNDER THIS PIG – CALL THEM WHATEVER YOU WANT BABE

IT IS STILL

ANYBODY BUT OBAMA..........YOU BOYS NEED TO QUIT READING YOUR OWN MEDIA – IT IS OBAMANATIONS EVERYWHERE FULL OF THE HOMELESS AND GAS IS BLOWING..................

ANYBODY BUT OBAMA – IT HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER

Paul

Stay our of Syria. Let the Arabs handle their own back yard. Impeach obama now for his endruns around congress. Then impeach Boehner for being such a surrogate to obama. S**t can the entire GOP and DEM "leadership".

Huh? When did Bush ever do an end run around congress? Please be factual.

February 9, 2012 at 10:59 am |

JAHC

Obama is an Anti-American revenge driven person. He has a goal: Destructruction of the United States. You are extremely naive if you think you will somehow escape the consequences of his ego mania driven agenda.

February 9, 2012 at 11:04 am |

Drew

Typical Drudge readers. See the headline and not the article. The US wouldn't be doing its job if it didn't prepare for any and all scenarios related to Syria. Pentagon is probably doing the same thing with any other African nation that is having an armed conflict. Otherwise we end up with our pants down if things escalate rapidly.

I will say that I bet they've already done more planning for Syria than they did for Iraq.

Where is HIllary even mentioned in this article??? You're going off the Drudge picture, aren't you. Wow. So sad.

The only politician mentioned is JOHN MCCAIN.

Hey Einstein (aka Drew) Hillary is the Secretary of State. My apologies. I assumed you knew basic information on responsibilities-role of cabinet members in an administration.

I won't make that mistake again. I'll have to explain everything to you like I would to my 10 year old son.

February 9, 2012 at 12:35 pm |

MDWhite

And I thought we were reducing the size of our military and that we weren't going to be able to sustain combat operations on two separate fronts. Silly me...

Yea, I have first hand knowledge that the military has already begun feeling the pinch from Obama's reductions. Obama is playing a very dangerous game with all this saber rattling regarding Syria.

Obama is already unknowingly in above his head, this Syria thing can quickly escalate far beyond Obama's skill set. He should pull back immediately, and hopefully an adult can sort this thing out after January 20th, 2013.

No chance that US will really intervene here. Obama only intervenes with military support where there is a chance that deposing the dictator will give Islamic fanatics a stronger foothold. With Syria, whether Assad stays in power or not, Syria is still, in effect, a puppet state of Iran. Since Obama did not intervene in the Iranian attempted uprising, he won't intervene in Syria either.

I know this is difficult for a liberal like you, but try to stay focused on the present. Bush is long gone. You look foolish with the constant attempts at misdirection. Besides, isn't it time for you to go upstairs so that your mom can feed you lunch?

February 9, 2012 at 12:04 pm |

AMEN AMEN – that is all the liberal got – lies and crazy hate speech, bush is gone and his won war was HANDED TO BARRY AND LIKE ALL GOOD LIBERALS HE DESTROYED IT – RUNNING OUR HEROES OUT IN THE NIGHT UNDER DARKNESS while HE PERSONALLY (LIBERALS YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE FACTS IN HISTORY WHEN YOUR LYING MEDIA IS DEAD) AND HISTORY WILL TELL YOUR GRANDKIDS STILL IN THEIR OBAMAVILLE CAMPS THE REAL TRUTH.......

HEHEHEHEHE RICH YOU ARE GREAT – KEEP IT UP – EDUCATING THESE DUMBOCRATS IS A FULL TIME JOB

So the prez is going to start a war in Syria to get their oil? We should leave a peaceful, idyllic country like Syria alone. They do practive the religion of peace and it is clear they have a wonderful, peaceful country. Let them practice self rule.

Here's an idea, Start with a clean slate. Let it be known the US will no longer preemptively interfere with threatening regimes, but if they bomb us or our friends, don't send in boots, send in missiles, bomb into the stone-age.
